Creating Shrimp Tortellini with Garlic Sauce is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Boil the Tortellini: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once heated, add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

4. Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes before adding the heavy cream. Stir to combine.

5. Combine Everything: Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the cooked tortellini. Toss everything together gently to coat in the garlic sauce. Allow cooking for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and add grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
